Why I'm standing

I bring experience and passion. I served as an Auckland City Councillor for nine years, including chair of its Planning Committee, and am a current local board member, leading in local economic development. I listen and know how to get things done and can call council-controlled organisations to account in the complex system of Auckland's local government. While much has been achieved, I believe there is still more to be done in this area I love.

About me

I am a careful listener and belong to community groups within Waitematā. In addition, I have extensive governance experience in a wider range of organisations, including the NZ Dental Council, Unitec Council and the Auckland Business Development Council. I'm a member of the Ponsonby Business Association and Local Board liaison for the Parnell Village Square Trust. As a former senior Auckland University of Technology lecturer for 15 years, I can evaluate complex information.

My priorities
  1. A sustainable environment/low carbon future. I will support measures to address climate change.
  2. Greater opportunities for access to the arts, events, sport and recreation.
  3. Transport choice, public and active transport options are the key to solving congestion.
